Hi all!
Can someone proved me with an example code of 2 hotspots that rotate horizontally and vertically
For example you have a box that you rotate 35 degrees horizontally and then rotate it 35 degrees vertically (hotspot follows rotation)
Thank you in advance!

The problem is you do not want to rotate the horizontal hotspot code (ROTz) horizontally but you do want to rotate it vertically.
And you don't want to rotate the vertical hotspot code (ROTx) vertically but you do want to rotate it horizontally.
And you actual object you want to rotate both.
So, just thinking out load without actually testing it myself, you would need to ...
ROTz !!rotate vertical hotspot horizontally only
code for vertical hotspot
DEL 1
ROTx !!rotate horizontal hotspot vertically only
code for horizontal hotspot
DEL 1
ROTz
ROTx
code for object
DEL 1
DEL 1
I think.

Is the movement dependant or independant? And you are wanting to define them by angle given a set distance?

Yes.
I want to define both rotation by variable, moving hotspot is at a fixed distance lets say at A,0 (End of box) and vertical hotspot is at A/2,0 (half length of box) but when I change the angle, moving hotspot needs to be at that location (see code) the problem is when I set vertical rotation my horizontal plane is wrong. I am imputing the wrong coordinates but I do not know anymore how to it 😅

This is better.
The two hotspots need different radii, other wise you will only be able to select one of them.
The inner one is horizontal and the outer one is vertical.
I cheated and rotated the horizontal hotspot script and just substituted the vertical parameter.

If stacking angle hotspots does not work, you could script intermediate x, y and z parameters that feed back into the angles.
Barry, your vertical reference axis needs to shift for the given horizontal rotation else the hotspot vs object rotation axis do not match. Adjusting the base, reference and sometimes centre hotspot in relation to a different transformation is a pain...
